Rabbit health questioin

[Katronmaster]

I have a year old lionhead rabbit who seems to be loosing the fur around her eyes. The eyes don't seem irritated and there's no crustiness, just a lack of fur. She's an outdoor bunny. Could this be caused by the wind outside? She has a hide but rarely uses it. I was wondering if anyone had dealt with this before I took her to the vet. She's acting fine, and doesn't seem bothered.

I'd rather not spend a fortune just to find out she's rubbing the fur off because it's long and annoying her or because of wind.

Could be parasites like mites, or a skin irritation. I'd get her checked out by a vet.
